SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 15: Sweeping Bandits

Edgar teaches business to Roy. He let Albert teach Roy how to make connections with officials and nobles without walking into a hell pit. Edgar asked the king to let someone in charge of intelligence teach Roy.

A few days later, Rey finally submitted a plan to sweep bandits, and Edgar approved it.

Rey prepared a plan to fool people's eyes and let 200 royal guards disappear without being noticed. One hundred royal guards are sent outside of the capital.

Rey deliberately spread the information that royal guards will train outside for one day and divide it into five batches. They will go outside the capital when the sky is still dark in the morning, and they will return in the morning at the same time they went out.

The first one hundred guards already disappeared and went to the meeting point. Another hundred royal guards went outside the capital and returned immediately to pretend to be the royal guards that went outside yesterday. The sky is still dark, and their helmet covers most of their faces, so it is difficult to notice that they are the same people. The next day, another one hundred royal guards disappeared and went to the meeting point. The strategy from yesterday will be repeated the next day.

Two hundred guards are now at the meeting point. They are wearing silver armor and a white cape. They will be divided into four teams to avoid giving bandits and nobles that are connected to them enough reaction time. After a brief meeting, each leader leads their team to a rendezvous point for their steed and supplies.

Their steed is a black horse with a horn on its head. It is tall, has streamline muscles, and has beautiful black skin. It is as fast as wind and, during impact, is as loud as thunder. Its name is Tundra. There are 51 tundra on each team. The extra one is for an official that will facilitate the loot and help deal with nobles if an issue appears while sweeping bandits. They rested, ate, and waited to get dark. When the three moons rose in the sky, they started riding Tundra.

In a faraway place in the south, the royal guards can see the shadows of huge mountains. Over the mountains are flowing beautiful auroras.

Hidden in the huge mountains beneath those beautiful auroras is filth that royal guards will remove.

Woosh! The galloping tundra leaves dust as they quickly run on the ground. The tundra's speed is not affected. The supplies for guards are light. Tundra easily carried the guards with their supplies. They are as fast as speeding cars. A team of royal guards is riding on open ground. Not too far from both sides, there are huge, stony mountains with sparse grass. The shadow of the huge mountain in the south is getting closer, and the blue aurora with some white color is also getting more beautiful the closer it is seen.

Two teams reached their destination at dawn.

Dan and his team are below a towering mountain. Hidden in the lush forest on the mountain is the den of the hideous Fierce Axe Bandit. They already have intelligence on the route to bandit dens. There is even a guide for each target. Many ordinary people are willing to help the royal guards for free because they suffered too much from bandits. The whereabouts of bandit dens are exposed because they are too unscrupulous and confident that the army will not attack them. Even if they are attacked, they believe their informant in a noble household will give them a warning.

Dan hides the tundras in a hidden area of the forest and ties them to trees. They ate and rested a bit. They took potions that recovered stamina, then Dan left some guards to guard the tundras. He followed the guide to the bandit den.

Two suns are already high in the sky. In the stockade of the Fierce Axe Bandit, there is loud laughter and the whistling of bandits. There is a sound of pleading by a woman and the cry of a child.

"Please! Let go of my child! I'm begging you! Use me instead! Please! Huhuhu!" The woman is pleading and crying. Her face is full of despair. She is lying on the ground, and her hair is being grabbed by a bald bandit. Her dress is already dirty, and some parts are forcefully torn. The bandits are still laughing. The show is entertaining for them.

"Orec, try to keep it alive! Slave sellers might still buy it! Hahaha!" said the bandit leader. He is laughing while drinking wine. The bandit dragging the child is his cousin.

"Mama! Mama! Help me! Waaaaa waaaa." The little girl is desperately crying and calling for her mother. She is being dragged by an ugly, dark-skinned bandit. The mother's heart is being torn to pieces. Her heart hurts so much for what is happening to her daughter. Her child is too young. She should be playing. She should not be here, suffering from a bandit.

"SHE IS JUST A CHILD!" desperate cry of the mother. Her heart is really painful. She is just an ordinary woman. She did not harm anyone, but why is fate so cruel to them? Why? This question is what is running through the woman's mind.

"DAMN BEAST!" Everyone was startled by a loud shout.

EARTH SPIKE

Two earth spikes flew. The head of the bandit that dragged the child disappeared from his neck. Half of the head of the bandit that held the woman disappeared. Blood splattered on the woman's clothes and face, but she is not afraid. She is thankful because help has arrived.
